Casket Sprays
Casket Sprays can be created as 1/2-length for an open casket or full-length for a closed casket.
The nicest casket pieces are made up of mixed flowers . If you desire a specific color or type of flower we are happy to meet your needs.
Ribbon script is available at no extra cost to show relationship to the deceased or to display a special message. Script is gold and will work on most colors of ribbon. We often incorporate a bow and streamers into casket sprays so that it compliments the flowers but doesn't overwhelm the piece.
Average 1/2 length casket sprays are $150-$250, but we are able to work in every budget. Type and amount of flowers are the main determinants of cost. (For example, a casket spray made of entirely roses would be more costly than a mixed piece.)

Memorial Baskets
Memorial baskets are the most common way that friends, family, and business partners send floral tributes to a memorial service.
We offer gold script at no extra charge on these baskets, just like on a casket spray. Script is completely optional.
Again, like a casket spray, mixed arrangements look best, but we're happy to accommodate if you prefer a certain color or type of flower
Memorial baskets range from $35-$125 with the average being $50-$100. Size and type of flowers will vary with the cost of the basket, but even our smallest basket makes a bold statement and will appear full.
Baskets can easily be made to match the casket spray to show close association to the family.

Foliage Plants
Many mourners opt to send a foliage plant to the memorial service. This provides a living tribute that the family of the deceased can take into their home as a memorial that will thrive for years to come.
Foliage plants range from $25 for a plant in a 6" pot, $35 for a plant in an 8" pot, $50 for two 6" pots in a peanut basket, to $75 for three 6" potted plants in a trio basket. Prices include pot cover and bow.
You may opt to include fresh or silk flowers in a foliage plant to add some color for the service.
Not sure what type of plant you want? Visit our Foliage Plant Directory to see what we offer and an example of what they look like!

Urn Arrangements (for Cremation Ceremonies)
Inurnments have gained in popularity as an alternative to traditional burial, and those who have a memorial post-cremation may opt to have an urn arrangement.
Urn arrangements are the equivalent of a casket spray for a traditional burial service. They are made custom to match the chosen urn.
Prices for urn arrangements are comparable to caskets sprays, and run in the $125-$200 range.

Easel Sprays
Easel Sprays are just that, a floral arrangement on a wire easel that can be placed next to a casket or at the sides of the chapel during a memorial service.
Easels range from $75-$200, averaging $100-$125. This price includes the wire easel and any script desired. Easels, like baskets, can easily be made to match a casket spray.
Easels can be constructed in the shape of a heart or cross for an extra special tribue. These begin at a base price of $125, due to an extra allottment of labor time to construct suche pieces.

Angels, Stuffed Animals, and other Memoriams
We offer a variety of angels, plush animals, and other keepsakes that could be placed on the grave or incorporated into a floral arrangement...perhaps something that a child could have as a keepsake after the service.
Gold Script can be added to any arrangement at no extra charge to show relationship to the deceased or include a special message.

Grave Decoration

Wreaths, either traditional or custom, can be made at any time of the year from grapevine, greenery, or other foliage to mark special dates, such as birthday, anniversaries, holidays, etc.

Grave blankets, angel figurines, candles, lamps, and many other items are available that could be left as a memorial tribute at a grave.

Grave Decoration Service

Many families would like to decorate gravestones of their loved ones, but are unable to due to distance, physical disability, etc. For a nominal set-up fee, Turner Flowers will deliver and install the items of your choice at a Franklin County cemetery.

Some families choose to establish a standing order to decorate four times annually: Spring, Memorial Day, Fall, and Christmas on a rotational basis. Others simply call in at the holidays to have a wreath laid at a particular stone. Choose the option that is best for you and your family.

There are over 70 known cemeteries in Franklin County. The largest and most frequently decorated are:

  • Highland Cemetery, Ottawa
  • Hope Cemetery, Ottawa
  • Woodlawn Cemetery, Pomona
  • Princeton Cemetery, Princeton
  • Wellsville Cemetery, Wellsville

If you're not sure where a stone is at a particular cemetery, the sextant can often help us find it for you. We work in all budgets and find it rewarding to help preserve the memory of your loved ones. Give us a call today!
